Abstract

The High Court of Justice had dismissed an application for a judicial review of a decision by immigration officials not to grant the applicant leave to remain in the UK on the basis of her HIV status. In December 2002, the Court of Appeal denied the applicant permission to appeal the High Court's decision, reasoning that an appeal under section 65 of the Immigration and Asylum Act, already initiated, would be more appropriate and advantageous.
